Pinterest Is Tumblr For The Ladies

Quick! Name the most perplexing social site you can think of. If you are a dude, it is probably Pinterest. Pinterest is a social network, like everything else one talks about on the internet nowadays. It’s “a virtual pinboard” that “allows you to organise and share all the beautiful things you find on the web.”

It is also mostly used by women who are between the ages of 28 and 34, according to their Compete demographics from like six months ago, which pegged 54 per cent of its users as women — but it’s probably even higher now, based on anecdotal evidence.

In other words, it’s Tumblr for ladies*.

Here’s what it looked like when we tried to discuss it at work.
